Fantauzzo Lab

The Dept was well represented at the Rocky Mountain RNA Symposium today! Congratulations to student Camille Goo and postdoc @ecbrooks96 on their poster awards and students @cassieminne and @graceinsci on their honorable mentions. @wattk11 @Fantauzzo_Lab @NicholsLab

Delighted to share our updated work, led by postdoctoral fellow Dr. Maria Campaña, published in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/em66g, PDGFRalpha/beta heterodimer activation negatively affects downstream ERK1/2 signaling and cellular proliferation

The deadline for the 2025 @CSHLMouseCourse has been extended until March 17th. Don't miss this great opportunity to learn all about mouse development, stem cells and cancer from leaders in the field!

We are excited to announce that the 48th Annual Meeting of the SCGDB will be held September 29th - October 1st, 2025 in Minneapolis! The meeting will be hosted by the University of Minnesota @UMNews.

In the next few weeks we will start advertising for PhD students and/or post docs. We are looking for two people to join our group, one focused in pancreatic organoids and the other to join our computational team. DM if you are interested!

Have you ever wanted to *see* receptor activity in embryos? If so, our new preprint is for you! In it, we showcase a new live-cell biosensor for visualizing receptor tyrosine kinase activity in living embryos – pYtags! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to serve as a Co-Instructor for the 2025 @CSHLMouseCourse June 2nd-22nd! Applications are due March 1st. Please RT!

Annual 11th floor door decorating contest. Wishing you all a Fantau-stic holiday season!

Delighted to share our updated work, led by former @molbcu student Thomas Forman, out now in @eLife: elifesciences.org/articles/98531, PDGFRa signaling regulates Srsf3 transcript binding to affect PI3K signaling and endosomal trafficking

Like a lot of scientists, we've started migrating over to 🦋. Join and connect with us there!

@justincotney @PennDentalMed It was a very quick trip. Next time I’ll reach out to you and @ericliaomd!

Had a great visit to @PennDentalMed today. Thank you to my host and collaborator Dr. Eric Larson!

@fishyskeleton @Homeobox @KelleeSiegfried @KatrinHenkeLab @jakedaane @poetmark Congrats, Matt! 🎉

A Still Life of Academia moment from my desk on the promotion with tenure. A note of thanks to all trainees, colleagues, and mentors who made the past years and effort so exciting and enjoyable. Now..the next phase. Thanks to HMSGenetics/BCH OrthoSurgery - and me parents.

@chrmosimann @hannah_moran @CUAnschutz @CSD_CUAMC Congratulations @hannah_moran and @chrmosimann! Very impressive and well-presented thesis work 🎉

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

This week’s #onlywithHCR Spotlight is on Evan Brooks, a postdoctoral fellow in the @Fantauzzo_Lab at @CUAnschutz! In his recent publication, @ecbrooks96 and his colleagues from the @BrugmannLab performed whole-mount #HCRimaging to examine the organization of tendons, muscle, and cartilage in HH36 chicken embryos. Explore his work in more detail here: doi.org/nkvn

In our next #50ScientistsThatInspire Q&A Dr. Valentina Greco opens up her about work advocating for women in #STEMM and offers advice on cultivating a healthy lab environment that values the people as much as the science. #CP50 Read the full interview: spkl.io/6018fJQae

Graduate student @cassieminne @molbcu passed her Comprehensive Exam today! The lab celebrated at T-street.

Very excited to host @AmyMerrill_lab for this week's @CSD_CUAMC seminar series, sponsored by @CU_CFB!
